[PLUG] running or compiling linux apps on solaris 10


I am in the market for a new desktop and I have been considering the
new sun ultra 20.  It has an AMD opteron processor and comes loaded
with Solaris 10.  I understand that Solaris 10 can compile linux apps
and even run linux binaries.  My question is, how well?  I like the
idea of sun hardware and solaris for x86 but I would like to use linux
apps.  There is far more software available for linux than solaris for
intel.  I am thinking that if I could run linux apps well on the ultra
20 it would be worth it.  Any opinions?

thanks,

Michael
